  1. I feel like we are trying to hide marve to keep him north of the border and away from other cfl teams in the off season. Get him locked up to a long term deal in the off season that removes most of the chance of him ever going back to the cfl. Maybe im crazy and need a tinfoil hat. But its easier to believe then that every one in the coaching staff and front office cant see what any one else sees who watches him practise and play.
  2. We found every way possible to throw the win away. Giving away 16 points, missing kicks, 3minute drill delay of game, the only thing we didnt do to lose the game is walk off the field before the game was over. But such is the growing pains of a young team. Alot of the problems are based on preparation and execution. Both of which will only get better with more time for this coaching core to work with this group of players. As easy as it is to call for rapid turn over at beleaguered positions, the only way to fix it is to stay the course. If we would have played any slight degree better in any aspect at any point of this game we would have beaten the defending grey cup champs and west division front runners to take the lead in the west. Stay off the ledges, dont push any one under the bus and keep our heads up. This is gonna be a special team, we have a lot of talent on and off the field. And hats off to Do or Die these threads are allways awesome even after some brutal games.
  3. Id like both guys to be banished to the 7th ring of curling hades.
  4. Vann was with the team in training camp was he not? I had big hopes for otis amey. Wish hed a got a better look here. he was. He was a ritchie guy. Rare for a rookie. Got cut stayed in shape and ready and got called back. might have sat on the PR for a bit too. Mike simms walker wonder if hes up for a come back he looked amazing.
  5. For me there is a line between good dirty (gritty) and bad dirty (intent to injure). Did picard go too far? yes. But with the level of pass protection weve seen and how hard willy got rocked allready this year im fine if he gets fined every game.
  6. Air lift? Its more of a crap shoot then the cis draft imop. But it never hurts to bring in able bodies with potential. Id especially like to see a play making MLB/DE and a receiver who can gain yards after the catch.
  7. Was it in? Im not sure. What i did like is how many times we stopped them in the red zone on that drive. We really showed some tenacity and a glimmer of the bend but dont break notion .
  8. At the very least we seem to be funneling to him but ive seen him sit back in spot and let runners come to his area far too much. What i wouldnt give to have henoc back shooting gaps and blowing ball carriers up again.
  9. oh cfl media. You sooo bad. If they got rid of half the durps that cover the league and brought in fresh out of school broadcasters and journalists i honestly think things would get worlds better.
  10. The dbs looked miles better last game. Id say they are geling . And with the huge rule shake up, no ones secondary is dominant imop. The front 7 havent looked worse but they are still to in efective against the run and getting pressure. I strongly believe in the talent we have on the Dline. I think we are doing some thing wrong in scheme that is messing it up.
  11. I think this is true in general right now. Its happening on offence too. Tiny infractions un doing big plays when they were miles away and had no actual impact on the play.
  12. and this is a guy who has never played the canadian game before this year. Give him time.
  13. Ive been wondering about that too. especially with his ability to read an O and lead a D from the S position in the us. Hes more of a hitter then a guy who will scrape to a ball carrier or step in and fill a gap imop. But he could develop into a good mlb.
  14. the 2nd one looks like what happened to DD in the last game.
  15. icelandic. the bombers have signed halfthor bjornsson, aka the mountain to play tail back.
  16. would love garrett back. That said RB is one position that i dont think you need to recycle at. Personally i also dont think we need another one. Id be comfortable with either guy taking all the reps if one goes down. Perhaps to maintain dual threats in the back field at the same time? With those two id love to see us bring in a long term project guy, some one with speed to burn who could return kicks too. Hard to recognize any one at practise when your playing on your phone and socializing.
  17. If you take away the 4 or so big td plays, the numbers would have been very good. BUT the utter lack of pressure, constant bus sized gaps, awful blitz schemes ,and incredibly loose coverage would still be very trouble some. The way the D played, we could have just as easily gotten beat by 50 as any thing. Imop it is fixable by ritchie hall. He has a lot of work to do, and at worst if he doesnt get it together well probably see baron miles by mid season. Never though ritchie halls D would Look worse then etchs...
  18. IMOP buh bye brohm. willy 1, marve 2, portis 3, this guy on the PR as developmental player.
  19. Nope its rought luck like i said. But those are the breaks, and the breaks shouldnt beat you.
  20. Top three 1 sign bryant 2 draft chung 3 sign westerman bottom 3 1 Keeping MB as OC 2 Going off the board so early and often in the draft. 3 Still lacking depth at returner. (best efforts, and bad luck. But excuses dont win football games)
  21. Can any one recall a rookie american QB coming in on any deal (little on a 3 year deal) being healthy, getting virtually no team reps in TC and not a single play in pre season? I sure cant. But ive seen us and other teams do this on the regular with canadian qbs. Come in, throw what drills we need, hold a clip board and well let you know if we need you to go get us some coffee. What needs to change is the ratio rules. This is the canadian game. We have the ratio rules in place to protect and preserve canadian talent in the game. Its time to adjust this age old loop hole. They went nuts with stupid changes in the off season, no reason not to do this now. maybe a canadian starter at qb counts as a canadian starter, or even a back up canadian qb gives you an extra DI spot.
  22. DF generally knows his canucks. And i respect his opinion. I kind of think hes not wanting to sell high on a team that missed the play offs the last few years. At worst i think we have very high up side NI talent, and a couple oldies. But that said i think our NI talent over all is much better then that.
  23. forget fair chance. he didnt get any chance at all. Id rather us not bring in canadian qbs if were going to do this stuff with them.
  24. LJ shell is at worst a highly productive Ster, strong veteran presence to bring along our young lbs, a flexible guy who can play a few positions, and a guy whose good for the locker room. I dont blame people for knee jerking to conclusions like romby, kuale, etc. But i dont think he'd be any of that at his very worst. This kind of reminds me of ritchie bringing in a bunch of vets early in his time here. (coleman, mcgriggs etc)
